5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, simply Awesome March 27, 2006

By Melina Lantz

Format:Paperback

This book is well written and easy to understand. It really explains how and why to detox. It actually has daily menu plans that you can actually use. No wierd foods or herbs just everyday food you can find at your local grocer or farmers market. I have read many books on detox and this is by far the best I have read. I finally can start detox rather than just reading about it. Thank you Dr Haas, BRILLIANT

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information - realistic programs February 13, 2008

By mellochick

Format:Paperback

I bought this book along with the 21 day detox by Roni DeLuz. Both methods work, Dr. Roni's gets the most weight loss, but I think Dr. Haas's book is more comprehensive. It gives information on total body detox, and also provides specific detoxes for those who want to focus on a particular substance (alcohol, sugar and caffeine are examples). I find the food combining priciples and the recipes easier to adopt. I would recommend it - its a good reference and instruction manual for detox and clean, healthy eating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rid Yourself Of Bad Eating Habits December 22, 2008

By S. Okumura

Format:Paperback

Used judiciously, "The New Detox Diet" is of great help if you would like to rid yourself of bad nutritional habits. The title diet is meant to be used primarily as a temporary cleanse. It involves eating primarily fresh vegetables, a little fresh fruit, a little whole grains, and a little protein (beans, fish, or chicken). There are additional chapters on juice cleanses, elimination diets for the identification of food sensitivities, a modified version of the Detox Diet for longer term use, and recipes. I had gotten into a rut of eating large amounts of bread and cheese and drinking several glasses of wine each night, so I did the Detox Diet for 10 days. I find I have minimal cravings for sugar and alcohol now, and although I still love bread and cheese I do a better job with portion control. A word of warning: The chapter on the basic Detox Diet provides diet rules and also a sample menu. I found that if I followed the sample menu strictly, I wasn't getting enough calories and I was quite weak. So be careful to include some higher calorie vegetables (potatoes, avocados, etc.) and/or follow the recommendations for calorie supplementation.
